Looking at the hot pot in front of him, Li Yuezhu thought of brother Jinyan again.

In that far northwest, in that cold and food-poor frontier, I don’t know how Jinyan’s brother is living, or whether his condition has improved...

Because of eating hot pot, the whole family was lively and lively. Since there were no outsiders, everyone was very relaxed.

"Sister-in-law, you are going to show off like a man in the future!"

Lin Xinghuai had two drinks with Chen Jiuying today. Chen Jiuying had already been drunk. Lin Xinghuai drank alone for a while, then he put his arm around Li Yuezhu's shoulder and asked.

"Isn't it possible?"

Li Yuezhu looked at Lin Xinghuai, who smelled of alcohol, with disgust, and slapped the arm holding her aside.

"But this is not a solution! Your child can't tell it now. When you grow up, let alone whether your appearance will be visible to others, how will you find someone to marry you when you grow up?"

Although Lin Xinghuai's words smelled of alcohol, they made Zhou feel attracted to him.

"That's right! Yuezhu, it's not an option for you to be like this all the time. Although you can hide it from others now, in the future you will always have to show yourself to others in women's clothing. It's not an option for you to dress like a man."

"Mom, I understand. I will stop it in moderation. Don't worry."

Lin Xinghuai was indeed drunk. As soon as Li Yuezhu slapped him away, this kid walked over again.

"It's the twelfth lunar month soon. After the new year, Mr. Du will hold a grand full moon banquet. You don't know about this, right?"

Lin Xinghuai was standing next to Li Yuezhu. Due to the anesthesia of alcohol, his head was dizzy and he was even a little unsteady when standing.

"He also sent me an invitation, but I don't want to go."

Lin Xinghuai knew that Du Wenshan also wanted to monopolize their batch of vegetables, and this Du Wenshan was not a good person either.

"Although that cunning thing can't make it to the stage, this banquet is still very valuable."

Lin Xinghuai and Li Yuezhu stood in the small courtyard, looking up at the half moon hanging in the sky.

"High gold content?"

Li Yuezhu didn't expect that this kid would learn so many new words from her.

"The people present this time are all imperial officials. Although Du Wenshan's abilities are not very good, at best he is just a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but his father is a high-ranking official in the officialdom. Although he has resigned due to his age,

No longer, but his prestige is still there.”

"so?"

Li Yuezhu didn't understand what Lin Xinghuai wanted to express, or perhaps what Lin Xinghuai was saying was just drunken talk.

"So you'd better go to this banquet and show your face."

Li Yuezhu didn't understand this.

"It's just a child's full-moon drink, is it necessary to mobilize such a huge force?"

Lin Xinghuai shook his head vigorously. When the cool breeze of late winter blew, Lin Xinghuai felt that his mind was much clearer.

"Then you may not know that the Du family has run out of money. They are eager to find a partner or someone who can help them. Mr. Du has already gone out in person at such an old age. Half of

Most of the officials in the imperial court have received favors from Mr. Du, and this time they will do anything to save face."

"So that's why you want me to go to that full moon party?"

"That's not entirely true. The Du family used to have a big business, and Mr. Du has a lot of connections. This time, Full Moon Wine is indeed their request for help, so the officials and businessmen invited are all well-known figures in the Bishu Kingdom.

"

"Although our vegetables are a rarity," Lin Xinghuai was now fully awake. Taking advantage of this gap, he continued to analyze to Li Yuezhu: "But we are not the only ones who can do it. There are many well-established big families vying to get it.

They are cooperating."

Lin Xinghuai was afraid that Li Yuezhu didn't understand, so he explained again.

"Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for officials and businessmen to collude for mutual benefit and reciprocity. Officials provide conveniences to merchants, and some of the money earned by merchants shares are given to the government. Therefore, Mr. Du is in charge this time, so he should look down on it.

Since he has already given you an invitation for us, who are from a small family, why don’t we get to know those people from a high-class family?”

Li Yuezhu narrowed her eyes. What Lin Xinghuai said made sense. Although Du Wenshan's purpose for her was impure, whose purpose was pure?

"Don't worry, I will go."

Li Yuezhu figured out the joints in the middle and no longer resisted. He was just attending a child's full moon ceremony, so there was no need for Li Yuezhu to be cautious.

Lin Xinghuai looked at this young aunt and had already figured it out. He was almost sober from the wine standing outside.

"Okay, let's go into the house quickly. Xiaojiu is already drunk by me. It seems that she has to sleep in your bed tonight."

Lin Xinghuai's face showed no apology at all, but it was taken for granted.

Li Yuezhu really had no choice but to ask a maid to go to the Chen Mansion as soon as possible to tell her.

Lin Xinghuai yawned and went back to his room. Because Lin Xinghuai lived at home, Mrs. Zhou smiled so hard every day, and there was no sweet-talking child at home. Now Lin Xinghuai really showed his face.

Li Yuezhu looked at the boy's back. Unexpectedly, he looked a little green before, but now just looking at his back, he felt that he was an upright man.

Li Yuezhu helped Chen Jiuying to sleep on his bed, thinking about Lin Xinghuai's protection these few times. From the very beginning when he listened to Li Erfu and Zhang Lingling at the foot of the west mountain of Lijia Village, this little devil in the eyes of others knew how to hide the two girls.

Behind his back, he also covered his eyes. From that moment on, he could get a glimpse of Lin Xinghuai's care for them.

Thinking of the Zhang De he saw today, Li Yuezhu looked at Lin Xinghuai, who stood in front of them and looked a little majestic.

Although Lin Xinghuai often yelled and yelled and was sometimes lazy and stupid, he never missed important events and took the initiative to take over Huilian's job when she was pregnant.

Although Lin Xinghuai still had many flaws when he was working, Li Yuezhu also saw his efforts. After knowing him for such a long time, Lin Xinghuai has been by his side, like a patron saint. With his protection by his side, Li Yuezhu can

Sleep peacefully.

There is a kind of companionship called protection...

The breathing rate gradually slowed down. In this cold winter, this may be what touched Li Yuezhu the most.

In the twelfth lunar month, the whole street becomes lively. Whether you have money or not, you can go home to celebrate the New Year. This has probably become a rule. No matter where you are, everyone will save money to celebrate the New Year.

Business in Li Yuezhu's shop is as good as ever.

Even though the number of vegetables in the shop has tripled, demand exceeds supply.

"Young Master, our vegetables have been sold out again, and there are people outside protesting. During the Chinese New Year, everyone wants to eat fresh vegetables, no matter how high or low they are. Although we have added so much vegetables,

It’s still not enough to sell.”

The person who spoke was Yun Shizi, because those who went to the training were all a group of top students, and those games were relatively simple for them. After the training, Yun Shizi and Wang Feilong came to the shop to help. It was because they had already

At the end of the year, the business in the shop is so good.

"Tell Xue Hu and let them make another trip at noon. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Who doesn't want to eat some fresh vegetables!"

Li Yuezhu ordered to Lin Xinghuai.

Xue Hu has been working at Li Yuezhu's place for nearly five days, and several of his brothers came with him. This relieved Uncle Tiezhu's urgent need.

Although many people have been recruited before, they are still not as experienced as Xue Hu.

"Brother Siyuan, brother Siyuan!" A young voice came in from outside: "Look what I got you!"

At the end of the year, there was a lot to do. He had to check the accounts, manage the store, and pay benefits to employees. Li Yuezhu had already been very busy. At this time, Xiaohua ran in from outside and held a
Chapter completed!
